Title says it pretty much, I would love to see Ostheer Grenadiers in their field grey uniforms. The current tricolor camouflage is not historically accurate and hampers game's visuals I think. I really don't mind graphical issues and I do focus on balance&gameplay issues but this one is a must imho.

They would look no different to Volksgrenadiers. Just stick with the diverse look of units. The summer clothing/camo looks awesome... the winter clothing... meh.

I wonder if Relic will ever release infantry skin support?

The chances are really low, considering that changing infantry skins would be changing the uniform, while tank skins is just changing a paint job.

early war Ostheer Grenadiers did wear grey but 1944 onwards they it was very common for them to use various camo's as this game is set around 1944-45 i think?

The latewar camos you are talking about is nowhere near similar to the regular grenadier camo ingame.

camo worn by majority Wehrmacht solderers late war looked like this;

The other camo's like the dotted variants in orange, green etc where mainly worn by SS troops

Volksgrenadiers got the look first, so I'd pretty much never expect it to happen for Grens.

True. Hopefully once Relic's cashed out on CoH2, they'll give us more access to the files for custom models and such. Being able to mod in more diverse uniforms in general would be pretty sweet.
